A lot of times free range chickens in the northern climate will stop laying for a few months. One of my employees usually supplies us with eggs but his chickens are on strike for a while.
Putting more troops on our common borders is great but how about putting more on Mexico's southern border to keep illegals from coming into their country. Same with Canada, do something about the lax immigration laws in effect.
The only answer is eliminating the cartels. They have so much cash that they can launder. These guys are not dumb. Pretty resourceful. Guerilla warfare with no rules of engagement is what he says is needed. We've probably done a little bit of that over time. Harsh but....
Therein is the problem. Friend who is a Border Patrol and spent 10 years on the southern border says 1/2 of government is owned by the cartels. Nobody rats out the bad guys for fear of retaliation. They don't fuck around.
At home I put very little seasoning other than salting both sides an hour or so before cooking. On a good cut I want the meat flavor to come out and not mask it. Just my opinion.
I always thought grilling was the way to go but the sear and oven method doesn't dry out a steak as much as a grille IMO. Ruth's Chris made a believer out of me.
Ribby's are my favorite as well. 1-2 minutes a side at high heat and in the oven it goes at 400 for about 10 minutes depending how thick they are for rare-med rare. Hard to fuck it up with this method.
